Throughout the ten tracks in their new album Let There Be Music, you can�hear the spaciousness Bonny Doon allowed themselves since their 2018�sleeper cult-classic Longwave. Their latest musical journey is one that has�big payoffs for devoted followers and undeniable rewards for anyone just�stumbling across the band for the first time. After extensively touring Longwave by supporting Band of Horses, Snail Mail and Waxahatchee, Lennox and�Colombo were invited by Katie Crutchfield to collaborate on Waxahatchee�s�critically acclaimed album Saint Cloud. �The experience raised the ceiling on�our imagination,� Colombo said.

Soon after, Colombo and Kmiecik, whose steady percussion and devotion to�the songs creates a container for the indelible guitar lines, both entered a time�of serious healing, Jake tending to complications of his Crohn�s disease and�Bobby to a brain injury and undiagnosed Lyme disease. While these detours of�doctors� appointments and experimental care were taking place, the members of Bonny Doon were also playing on Waxahatachee�s Saint Cloud tour.�These obstacles and commitments drew out the making of Let There Be Music�for several additional years, and in the process, redefined the record as an�achievement in perseverance for the band.

On their long-awaited third album, we get a glimpse into the pure joy of Bonny�Doon. The album serves as less of one conceptual story, and each song�as their own individual offerings of putting words to the ordinary experience�of being alive. The band is at their most dynamic and the songwriting deftly�explores new terrain. Let There Be Music is brimming with small truths - both�profound and mundane, comforting and difficult - and we are invited to revel in�them all.
